Saint Paul Stamps Low quality stamps - sold as high quality investment Branson Missouri
I purchased two sets of stamps from a Saint Paul Stamps, located in Branson Missouri / Las Vegas, NV – with the understanding that these were high quality unused stamps in VF/ XF (very fine/ xtra fine) condition.
I became concerned with my purchase on learning that the Better Business Bureau had revoked Saint Paul Stamps accreditation (from A to F) due to customer complaints. From my own experience and the reviews from BBB (www.bbb.org), I believe Saint Paul Stamps is operating in a very dishonest manner.
Three reputable stamp dealers (all members of American Stamp Dealers Association, Inc. - https://www.americanstampdealer.com ) – recommended that I expertise and grade the stamps - as a first step in dealing with what we suspect is a case of gross misrepresentation (i.e. suspicion these stamps are not of the unused XF quality or may have been tampered with). Two of these dealers had prior knowledge of Saint Paul Stamps and stated that it specializing in selling low grade stamps at inflated prices.
The best/worst example of the situation is a Benjamin Franklin 1847 stamp in the set, it was presented to me as the prime item, having value greater than $9,000.00 – using the grading of proffesional stamp expertisers, the stamp has a market value of about $100.00
